Great app! Not sure if you're taking feature requests, but here is one just in case. ;)

I got headphones and speakers. Would love to bind a hotkey (e.g. F4) to switch between the output devices. I was thinking a simple toggle function, but I guess you could also extend it to be to specific devices for a hotkey as well.

Took me a bit more than expected because I had to change settings page layout, but it's done: 9dd64ef

Just tried it! Awesome. Thanks so much.

Is it possible to add a toggle function though? e.g. if you only have two sound devices (headphones, speakers) you could bind one button F4 to switch between them? So instead of having headphones on F4 and speakers on F5, you can press F4 to switch between them back and forth? (cycle)

Don't want to open another issue so will write more stuff here:

Also under Hotkeys to control the output device volume I think a mute audio button would also help. Increase/decrease/mute audio hotkeys.

And when changing volume right now, Windows doesn't seem to be showing it under the global UI. The only way to know what level your volume is at (e.g. 44) is to click on the bottom right sound icon. Picture attached if the missing UI:

I don't think there is a place for cycle function, since individual hotkeys is a more powerful tool to do the exact same thing with more flexibility.
Invoking Windows UI isn't possible via third party code.
But I'll think about adding muting hotkeys & popups for volume changes, etc.
